The Use of Injectable Plasma Versus the Use of Simvastatin Gel in Surgical Management of Bony Defect in Dentistry

Phase 1
Conditions
Intra-bony Pockets
Interventions
Other: injectable plasma rich fibrin
Registration Number
NCT04824898
Lead Sponsor
Ain Shams University
Brief Summary

Simvastatin (SMV) is one of the family members of statins, it has been showed in many previous studies that the simvastatin when dissolved with methylcellulose in situ gel with a concentration of 1.2% (SMV) approximately, can have a significant decrease in the pocket depth, regain the clinical attachment loss (CAL), and improve the bone level.

and the platelets concentrate has been introduced which is the injectable plasma rich fibrin (I-PRF), as it contains platelets and leukocytes, stem cells and endothelial cells that why it is called "blood concentrate ". So, it is proposed as treatment option in different periodontal procedures such as treatment of intra-bony defects,

Detailed Description

Group I ( Experimental group): will include 12 patients undergoing open flap debridement (OFD) followed by single application of I-PRF. Oral Hygiene measure will be instructed following treatment and maintenance visits will be given to them.

Group II (Control group): will include 12 patients undergoing open flap debridement (OFD) followed by application of 1.2% simvastatin gel. Oral Hygiene measure will be instructed following treatment and maintenance visits will be given to them.

* Oral hygiene instructions will be given to all patients.

* Full mouth Scaling and root planing (SRP) will be performed under local anesthesia.

* 4 to 8 weeks after the non-surgical periodontal therapy patients will be reassessed clinically and radiographically For all patients who are suitable for the study the following clinical and radiographic evaluation parameters will be measured: (All parameters will be recorded Pre-operatively (base line) and 6 months Post operatively by an examiner who will be masked to the type of treatment received by the individuals).
